No they can’t deal with that. Delta is generating a revenue premium by producing great ontime and flight completion stats. Many of our corporate contracts get a rebate if we don’t meet promised numbers. The extension of the leases on the 717’s to 2030 was due in part to a lack of confidence in the A220. They were not willing to put all their 100 seat eggs in one basket. This aircraft entered commercial service over 3 years ago. The kinks should be worked out.
